Happy birthday, Alex!

Alex's birthday was this past Saturday, and I thought I'd share a few photos...Last year, I was the worst since we were traveling on his birthday and I completely forgot to get him a cake (!) so I wanted to make up for it this year. Alex loves cheesecake, so I ordered one from the fancy French bakery Lady M, which is known for its ridiculously amazing cakes. This cheesecake had a cinnamon graham cracker crust and a thin layer of sweetened sour cream on top. Whattup!We invited our friends over, along with their two kiddos. (Toby and their daughter have been bestfriends for years.) They had a tough time waiting for the cake to be cut...Finally, we sang "Happy Birthday," Alex blew out the candle and we dove right in. It was delicious.The little foursome! Love how Anton is trying to be part of the action. "Hey guys! Back here! How fun is this, you guys?"The next day, Alex was running errands, so Toby and I dressed up like him and text him the photos as a joke. I think we kind of nailed it, though? Haha.

Hope you guys are having a good week! Happy birthday, Alex!!! We love you!!! xo

Super cute! Great idea to just do a simple cake for your husband's birthday. My husband doesn't much like to celebrate his birthday, but I think the kids like doing it. I'll try this next year. Thank you! Also, cute pics of you and Toby dressing up! Love it!

Lady M is incredible. They normally only let you order whole cakes, but once I called them to pay for two different slices for my sister's birthday. I live in Texas, but want to contribute to her birthday celebration. I tried Lady M when I visited her once, and couldn't believe she hadn't experienced it! Really, truly, luxurious cake.

How have you just had a baby?! You look fantastic...you just have popped back into your pre-pregnancy jeans! Share your secret!Your sons are just beautiful, total sweethearts. It's lovely to see such a happy family xx

Joanna, I just realized your Alex is singlehandedly responsible for driving up the property values, and driving down the available real estate, in the town where I bought a house ("hipsturbia") . So thanks Alex!!!! :) Happy birthday!
